I won’t beat around the bush by saying this. The New York establishment Democrats are blue Republicans. It is noticeable that underprivileged areas voted for Cuomo in the Democratic primary.
First part absolutely true. Second part problematic, the Republican enclaves of NYC are not the underprivileged areas and Republican-leaning voters can’t participate in the Democratic primary unless they register as Democrat in advance. Underprivileged areas voted Cuomo because they’re conditioned to vote for candidates they see as “safe” - A lot of them are black boomers who’ve seen some shit and feel like they owe their safety to the Democratic establishment - And because of low information.
